I had a BURP team name on of "HM COURTS SERVICE", and when I created a BAM Account, I was accociated with "HM COURTS-SERVICE". I can't merge the 2 teams, I can't delete either of the team names & both teams have points. What do I do?

I originally created the Team name "HM COURTS-SERVICE", but some projects don't accept "-" in team names, so I am reverting to "HM COURTS SERVICE" as my team name.

Can anyone give advice?

BOINCstats sees two different teams because there are two different names... If you can figure out a way to get all the projects to use the same team name, it should fix itself. Not sure how you do that without losing any credit, though.

As there is no such thing as a team CPID, the only valid tag for a team is it's name.
And with this lack of other distinguishing factors, it has to be the exactly same to be recognised as the same team.
SETI.Germany is not the same as seti-germany, but a team SETI.Germany founded by Chris (our auto-founder on BOINC-wide teams) in one project is the same as the team SETI.Germany founded by me in another.

The only reason there are 2 versions of the team name, is because some projects that don't like the hyphen ("-&quot. For example I created the team name "HM COURTS-SERVICE", but when a project did not like hyphen in the name, I ended up with a slight different team of "HM COURTS SERVICE".

At first I never noticed the difference, but by the time I did, it was already to late.

I am just wondering if there is a easy way to fix it.

Yes: Get rid of the "-" in all Team names.
